Day 21 of the #ComicSkyCoverArtists challenge is focused on OG cover artist master @brianbolland.bsky.social ! My first exposure was his incredible #JudgeDread covers but I came to love his work during @grantmorrison.bsky.social ‘s classic run of #ANIMALMAN . Here’s issue 5s controversial cover.

It’s Day 20 of the #September_RainofComicArt challenge & our next prompt is OVER THE TOP 90s & nothing say “the 90s” in comics like pouches, bandoliers, big weird guns, big muscles and not a foot to be found, i.e. the art of one #RobLiefeld . Here’s a prime example on X-FORCE 9. #XForce #XMen

It’s Day 20 of the #September_RainofComicArt challenge & our next prompt is DOOM! I was excited for the return of RDJ as the Latverian ruler. Disney’s actions made me take a principled stand & I may never see what is in store or buy another Marvel book. Sad. TBS, I already own the #RyanBrown cover.

Day 20 the #ComicSkyCoverArtists spotlight challenge falls on one of my personal favorites, the amazingly talented @zuorzu.bsky.social . Her works swing from the stunningly beautiful to the brutally terrifying, like this B&W cover of VENOM 1. #Venom #ZuOrzu

The greatest power individual citizens have in a capitalist society is with our wallets. Listen to this message and remember: if we organize and, say, even threatened a Christmas gift giving boycott? That’s when most major corporations make a large % of profits. They’ll absolutely 💩 themselves.

Happy Friday, y’all! It’s day 19 of the #ComicSkyCoverArtists challenge & today we feature @jscottcampbell.bsky.social ! I love the clean, bold lines and the kinetic energy of his art style, not to mention how beautiful his designs are. Case in point, LAURA KINNEY: WOLVERINE 1 . I mean, WOW! 😍😍😍

It’s Day 19 of the #September_RainofComicArt challenge & our next prompt is LOVE IS LOVE, a beautiful sentiment that, if people actually followed this simple statement, we’d live in a far better world. Speaking of beauty, check the @jenbartel.art cover of DC PRIDE featuring #HarleyQuinn & #PoisonIvy

Day 18 of the #ComicSkyCoverArtists spotlight falls of the talent of @tulalotay.bsky.social . Her covers express the aesthetic vibe of famous renaissance painters, especially her representation of women . Case in point, behold the strength of #SelenaKyle on KNIGHT TERRORS: CATWOMAN 2. #Catwoman

I’m starting to cope with the fact that I might have to give up MCU films AND Marvel comics. 😡🤬😭😖

Day 17 of the #ComicSkyCoverArtists is giving props to artistic chameleon #KaareAndrews . Flipping through his portfolio of works will reveal a variety of styles that are all unique and distinctive. Here’s one of his more aesthetic pieces on his cover of WONDER WOMAN 68. Diana looks truly wondrous.

It’s Day 17 of the #September_RainofComicArt challenge & our next prompt is WE LOVE THE 80s! I used to have all of these Marvel 25th Anniversary Boarder covers from 1986 and 75% of them went up in smoke. Luckily, my favorite one, this AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 282 by #BobLayton was in my mom’s car .

Here’s one of the best couples in comics, #HarleyQuinn & #PamelaIsley touching grass on this adorable @meghanhetrick.bsky.social cover.

Day 16 of the #ComicSkyCoverArtist spotlight is on #Frany or #JustineFrany - not “Franky,” thank you very much, stupid spellcheck 🙄 I absolutely adore her gentle style; it has an unmistakable sense of movement and beautiful color. Like #RavenDarkholm looking badass here on this cover of MYSTIQUE 2 .

Last day of @friendofspiderman.bsky.social ‘s #MCU challenge! Big shout out to our host! Final prompt:WHICH HERO SHOULD BE IN A FUTURE MCU PROJECT? Given our current societal shit show politically &culturally, it’s ripe for parody. A MOJOWORLD Disney+ show starring #Longshot would write itself.

Happy Monday! We’ve hit the halfway point of the #ComicSkyCoverArtists challenge! Our spotlight artist is #MarcoChecchetto and this is the cover I think got him assigned to recent great runs of #Daredevil. Here’s THE GOD WITHOUT FEAR wielding #Heimdell ‘s sword on this cover of WAR OF THE REALMS 3.
